CUFF-BUTTON.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Sept. 6, 1910.

Application filed Auguste, 1907, Serial No. 387.089. Renewed July 14, 1910. Serial No. 572,018.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, J OSEF PEJCHAR, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of Cincinnati, in the county of Hamilton and State of Ohio, (whose post-office address is Goodhue avenue, Price Hill, Cincinnati, Ohio,) have invented a certain new and useful Improvement in GuifButtons, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, which form a part of my specification.

My invention relates to a cuff button and its object is to produce a cuff button of simple, cheap and economical construction intended for use more particularly with the cuffs attached to neglige shirts or to ladies shirt waists; that is to say, to cuffs in which there is little or no stiffening or starch. In the case of the cuffs of this kind it is difficult to obtain a button which will not readily become disengaged from the cuff on account of the fact that the cuff is not starched.

My cuff button is readily and easily attached to the cuff and when once in place will not come out unless removed by the wearer. In addition it gives the cuff the desired shape.

In the drawings, Figure 1 is a perspective view of a cuff showing one form of my improved cuff button in place in the cuff; Fig. 2 is a section through the cuff on a plane through the button-hole but slightly above the button; Fig. 3 is aplan View of the button; Figs. l and 5 show other ways of making the cuff button; Fig. (3 shows another form of my cuff button in place in a cuff; Fig. 7 is a section through the cuff on a plane just above the button but through the button-hole; Fig. 8 is a plan view of the same.

Referring first to that form of the button shown in Figs. 1 to 5 inclusive, the cuff button comprises a main body portion A having angularly arranged cuff supporting members A A provided with channels B 13 within which that portion of the cuff C, between the edge of the cuff and the near end of the button-hole is intended to lie when [the button is in place.

These channels should be in width equal to the width of the portion O of the cufi. One side of the channel is formed by means of overhanging flanges D D D D at each side thereof adapted to engage each face of the portion of the cuff C and properly hold itin place.

The button may be stamped from a single piece of metal as indicated in Figs. 2 and 3 or may be formed, as in Fig. 4, in which two members are formed separately and then soldered together at E; again it may be made from a single piece of wire bent into proper shape as indicated in Fig.

Instead of having the button formed so that the cuff supporting members lie on the outside of the cuff, as is the case in Figs. 1 to 5, the button may be formed so that these members lie on the inside of the cuff as shown in Figs. 6, 7 and 8. In this case a is the main body portion, a a the cuff supporting members thereof arranged atan angle and lying within the angle of the cuff, b b, the channels and (Z (Z (Z (Z' the overhanging flanges which engage and hold the portions C of the cuff within the channel.

The method of application of the button to the cuff is readily apparent from the description and from the drawings. That form shown in Figs. 6 to 8 may also be made either from one piece by stamping or from two pieces which may be soldered or in any other way attached together. Either type may be made of metal or of any other suitable material.

Having thus described my invention, what I desire to claim as new and to cover'by Letters Patent is: v

A cuff button comprising a V-shaped body, there being provided on each leg of the V, at each end of the leg, extensions folded back on the leg, with a space between said folded back part of the extensions and I the leg of the V, substantially as and for the purpose described.
